Specifying a Time for Light-Locker's Lock Screen?

Horizon_Brave · 2016-04-28 21:40:37

Since Light-Locker has been a topic of interest recently, I figured I'd get into the fray. One option that I haven't seen any documentation for is, when Light-locker presents the lock out screen:

It takes about 10 seconds for it to "release" and give you the lightdm (or from what I just learned, it's own copy of lightdm's login screen) . Is there's a way to change this lock time out? I can't seem to find any conf file that allows this to be changed. The conf in

/etc/xdg/autostart/light-locker.desktop

this has the line:

Exec= light-locker-command  -l

Unfortunately I don't see anything in the man pages for light-locker to specify a lock screen timeout value. There's a few options to determine when the session launches, but nothing for how long it presents the above shown screen for. Anyone know how to do this?

that's not a configuration file, that's just a .desktop file.
Have a look at the actual configuration files, or the man page.

There are no configuration files for light-locker, just command-line flags that can be passed via the .desktop file.

See light-locker(1)

Well just to defend myself a bit, I did state that I had read the man page for lightlocker. The issue is that none of the options there are for changing the actual timeout /lockout screen value. So I suppose that's an answer jn itself. You have to stick with the default 10 seconds it looks like.
